"Our family came here for the lobster tasting menu; I opted to add the wine tasting. The lobster salad was a refreshing start to the meal. The chilled lobster contrasted to heat of the Banyuls vinaigrette. On the flip side, the vinaigrette overpowered any notes of grapefruit or avocado that were supposed to be present. Some members of the table noted how hot (spicy) the vinaigrette, but I thought it was reminiscent of the vinaigrettes I had in France. The lobster bisque was luxurious and bursting with flavor. The lobster meat in the bisque had an excellent garlic flavor. The bisque itself probably had a tad too much of a seasoning I can't pin down (seemed a bit more Cajun). The wine paired with this meal was excellent; the nose was strong and acidic but the palate was delicate, creamy, and had a hint of stone fruit. The red snapper...this is the reason why I didn't give 5 stars. It was not seasoned, I knew it from the first bite. And there was no salt on the table so I used the salted butter instead. Textures were appropriate, fish was cooked well, presentation was nice, but it was not seasoned properly. The Pinot that was served was a bad pour and contained sediment. I let our waiter know but told me it was normal. Shortly after this course, the waiter came back with another glass of Pinot, and acknowledged the error...nice save. The Pinot was delicious with fruit forward notes of jammed berries with a slight peppery note. The beef tenderloin was next; properly cooked and well seasoned. The sauces that were served with tenderloin were well made. Rich and creamy flavors. Nothing stood out but nothing fell flat either. The chocolate tower was for dessert. Delicious chocolate that wasn't overly sweet and a gold dusted macaron (interior tasted of hazelnut). Unfortunately I could not taste much pomegranate in this dessert...maybe it was more of a textural element. Service was polite and prompt from our main waiter. His support staff could use some work, the one young man would just come up at random and start taking/bringing plates without saying a word. Overall, I would come back to give it another shot. For the price, I was expecting more from the meal with some of the errors that were made."
